Well as to petro dollars some ppl in the US are pushing for more alternative fuels like Ethanol, Biodiesel, and others .
Some of the ideas are pretty damn good too for the Biodiesel .
* Soybean: 40 to 50 US gal/acre (40 to 50 m/km)
* Rapeseed: 110 to 145 US gal/acre (100 to 140 m/km)
* Mustard: 140 US gal/acre (130 m/km)
* Jatropha: 175 US gal/acre (160 m/km)
* Palm oil: 650 US gal/acre (610 m/km) [2]
* Algae: 10,000 to 20,000 US gal/acre (10,000 to 20,000 m/km)
The algae idea is just frickin awesome in my opinion .
And the salton Sea is a perfect place to do this to help clean up the problems there .
12.5% of the sonora desert could make all the oil we need .
That would be awesome .
As to the total issues with devaluing the dollar I don't think the US has alot of choice due to the massive trade deficit . The US corporations have chosen to send nearly all US manufacturing jobs overseas, and a lot of other job types over seas .
They also like to use an entire alphabet soup of Visa's to import labor as cheaply as possible and then pressure the Visa workers with threat of revoking to make them work longer than the labor laws allow on a salary basis .
The US needs some more labor reforms I hate to say .
And if they want and need those ppl here so bad make em citizens and let them pay for everything we pay for as citizens as they do use out roads, schools, etc etc .

Independent analysts generally agree the Iraqi death toll was well below initial post-war estimates. In the immediate aftermath of the war, these estimates ranged as high as 100,000 Iraqi troops killed and 300,000 wounded. According to "Gulf War Air Power Survey" by Thomas A. Keaney and Eliot A. Cohen, (a report commissioned by the U.S. Air Force; 1993-ISBN 0-16-041950-6), there were an estimated 10-12,000 Iraqi combat deaths in the air campaign and as many as 10,000 casualties in the ground war. This analysis is based on enemy prisoner of war reports. The Iraqi government claimed that 2,300 civilians died during the air campaign.
So, if you want the liberal's evil US statistics of 100k from CommunistNewsNetwork then believe whatever the hell you want .
I am still sorry ppl died, but this is just more disinformation like the rhetoric about katrina that they found out after the fact was all fabricated lies to try to make it look worse for political gain .

L1 LaGrange point is between the earth and the moon, we have said we are going back to the moon .
Good place to put the station, good place to put the hubble .
The moons orbits the earth every 28 days, and thus so would the L1 Lagrange point,
and thus would provide different angle viewing for the telescope .
Ex-MislTech
A Space station at one of the La Grange points made better sense to me .
I have heard lots of reasons why it wasn't done, but I can't help but thinking
it really just came down to money .
I'd like anyone that "really" works at NASA/JPL or on par to explain why .
I also think Hubble should have been placed at one of the La Grange points
or put in near proximity to the space station for ease of repairs .

If I remember circular area as Pi * r(squared) , then it is roughly 11,300 sq Km.
One over a Metropolis could cover it all.
22 would cover the Sq Km of the UK except the patterns are circular, and thus would
have to partially overlap to provide total coverage.
Thus most likely doable with less than 33 of them .
And it is alot cheaper than some satellite projects that have been posited .

Teledesic, Iridium, and others cannot compete with this on a cost to repair basis alone.
The balloons by www.21stcenturyairships.com can be launched and landed by remote control.

24km , planes do not fly this high except for maybe the military edge of atmosphere spy planes .
Commercial upper flight lanes are from 33,000 ft to maybe 40,000 .
This is at over 75,000 ft and it is just not efficient to fly at that altitude unless it is the SR-71
or something similar .
NASA has flown ballons to 171,000 ft but I don't think that is needed for this app .

I disagree, sending a robot to mars takes no food , no water, no o2 to breath .
If the robot dies, its family is not compensated .
They just work out the bugs and send another robot .
When the robot gets there and starts working on the planet after 14 -16 hrs
it does not need to rest for 8 hours .
The robot does not get sick, it doesnt suffer from unexpected ailments .
One of the concerns for long spaceflight is exposure to radiation, the robot
does not care about this and less shielding can be used .
There are many reasons I cannot think of , and I think robots can start the
process for humans to show up at a later time .
Meanwhile humans can build and test better robots back here, and use remote control
to drive them .
